Discover the magic of painting with wool! Explore the basic techniques of finger blending wool to discover a vibrant rainbow of complex colors. Use a felting needle to layer, mix, and create gradients to add dimension and depth. Learn how to use wisps of wool in a painterly way. Employ various small gauge needles to create subtle gradient shifts while working on linen in an embroidery hoop. Create a unique 6″ x 6″ felted wool “painting” that is full of color, texture, and pattern!

Materials fee is $30, payable to the instructor at the time of class.
